    Well, that's just one day you posted above. What improvement are you expecting to see?

    Have you discussed your diet with your coach?

    Plus im a cheat day guy

    It's been two weeks and you've had cheat days and your logging isn't that accurate (at least in the screenshot you posted above). Those are the issues.

    Two weeks is too soon to get impatient. "Cheat days" or any days where you don't meet your calorie goals are likely to create fluctuations in your weight. And using estimates or guesses in logging (like 1 chicken breast, for example) are going to make your results less predictable.

    Ok but i really ate one chicken breast ,i understand that its not exactly but it could make that big of a difference?if it does how should i calculate.Im fasting aswell

    If you want answers you need to stop burying the main points. You arent seeing results because 1. your impatient and 2.It hasnt been consistent. You seem to be yo-yoing around all over. Tidy up your logging get a food scale and stop switching between fasting and cheat days and just stick to your calories.

    Side note...If you were eating what you were told to youd not have to cheat within your first 2 weeks. Clearly something isnt working for you, So stop saying your fine lol

    In one day, no. Making estimates like that every single day, yes. That can potentially impact your progress.

    Weighing is the most accurate way to measure solid foods.

    Since you're already at a normal BMI, losing body fat is going to require more consistency and accuracy. Whether or not it is worth it to you, only you can answer that. Whatever you decide, two weeks isn't a realistic timeframe for it. You'll need to be patient.

    Cutting?maintaining?...

    Losing body fat (cutting) or maintaining is going to come down to the number of calories you eat. As long as you're meeting your needs for protein and fat, the exact macros are less important than the number of calories you consume.

    For cutting, sure as long at that puts you in a deficit. but that is only 1475 calories, you probably need more, much more on days you burn 1000 calories (like double the 1475)

    Is it optimal for health while losing weight... No it is not. that is nowhere near enough fat, and more than enough protein. and at the same time not enough calories given your activity level.

    Ok,so how much would i need?for lets say cutting?(calories)

    enter your info into MFP, since you are normal weight for height, set your goal to lose 0.5 lbs/week. and eat back most of the calories you burn from exercise.

    for macros set you protein to 0.8 grams per lb of body weight (if you know BF% you could do 1 gram per lb of lean body mass). Set you Fat to 0.4-0.45 grams per lb of body weight, fill the rest with carbs Then use the protein and fat as minimum and carbs as a max.

    Sigh. Start a new post with a complete history and ask for advice. You're acting randomly and if you're a guy you're eating less than the minimum AND burning a crap ton of Cals on top. Your MFP goal is net calories. So all your actual exercise calories are supposed to be eaten!
